Troubleshooting

Flashing does not fit securely.

Ensure you are using this flashing with 10mm thick roof sheets. Verify the rafter dimensions are standard or that no obstructions are present. Re-align and re-secure with appropriate fixings.

Water ingress at the rafter edge.

Check that the flashing is fully seated and correctly aligned with the roof sheet. Ensure all fixings are secure and that no gaps are present. Consider using a compatible sealant if necessary.

Flashing appears discolored or degraded.

PVC can degrade over extended periods of intense UV exposure. If significant degradation occurs, replacement may be necessary. Clean gently with mild soap and water.
